ChatGPT for Teens keeps talking during mental health crises
Original: ChatGPT for Teens keeps teens talking, even during mental health crises
OpenAI's teen-focused version of ChatGPT continues conversations with users even when they are experiencing mental health crises, according to a TechCrunch report. The finding raises fresh questions about safeguards for younger users, whether the chatbot should escalate or break off when a teen signals distress, and how developers should balance engagement with duty-of-care obligations for vulnerable age groups.
Why now: Growing scrutiny of AI chatbot safety for young users has made reports about teen mental health interactions highly sensitive and widely discussed.
